Win in Your Life: Follow the Path of Champions

"This is a book about winning in every aspect of your life!"

This Collector's First Edition has 100+ full-color photos. 

Author Michael London was inspired by the Villanova Wildcats extraordinary victory in the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship. 

As an avid fan, London noticed most news commentaries focused on the final 4.7 seconds of the game. Looking past the sensational headlines about that last 4.7 seconds, his research and insights showed that the rest of the story was even more astounding. 

Win in Your Life illustrates how a specific set of core values are exemplified in the lives of successful athletes and leaders throughout history. Each value is brought to life by inspiring stories of those who have lived them out-from St. Augustine to Martin Luther King Jr. to Abraham Lincoln to Villanova players and coaches. 

In this book, you will discover nuggets of truth that have the power to transform your life. 

Win in Your Life illuminates universal winning principles used by champions. Learn the "Sweet Sixteen" principles to move past large and small setbacks, transform your attitude, and propel you to success. 

Successful entrepreneur, publisher, community servant, and past trainer of the Saturn Culture & Management program, Michael London has authored a book that is part love song to the "Villanova Way" and part homage to the "wisdom of the ages." 

Discover how you can use the "Sweet Sixteen Principles of Champions" to Win in Your Life.

Reviews
Entrepreneur London, also a rabid Villanova Wildcats fan, offers up 16 pearls of wisdom derived from Villanova basketball coach Jay Wright’s “core values” in this lopsided book. London began his obsession with Villanova basketball in the early 1970s as a freshman at the university. Decades later, his passion for the team is still a significant motivating force. So much so that he dedicates the first four chapters to the team’s history, successes, and failures. The heart of the book, the “sweet 16” lessons that enable readers to prime themselves for success, don’t come into focus until 82 pages in, an extremely long wait unless the reader is an equally enthusiastic Wildcats fan. Once London gets there, the advice is sound, although hardly earth-shattering. He highlights attributes such as a positive attitude, humility, hunger for success, and being a hard worker. Examples of how these attributes successfully play out are mainly from Villanova athletics but also from London’s own business career and from an eclectic array of famous names from the past, including Michelangelo and the Beatles. London would have better served the reader with less Villanova hype and more focus on Coach Wright’s practices, but for those willing to dig, there are takeaways offered throughout. (BookLife)

"A must read for anyone who wants to be successful."

As a Villanova alumni I always followed the Cats' progress in the NCAA tournament which is the reason I bought the book. However Mr. London has written a book that encompasses more than a sports program. He incorporates character building traits taught to undergraduate students as true life lessons and has given numerous examples of famous people who have achieved success in their field by using the same principles. It was intriguing to read how individual basketball players on the National Championship team each used different things taught in the classroom to achieve greatness on the basketball court.
